Hyundai Santa Fe (Gen. 2) Thread

**Bry** · January 15th, 2007 01:59 AM

Hi everyone.

Just wondering, magkano ba ngayon ang used (2006) na Santa Fe? With Hyundai's bad resale value, can one be had for 1.1M?

imho, a worldwide paradigm shift in favor of hyundai is well on the way..

good luck searching though, for such an opportunity..

sorry po at :offtopic: but maybe you'll have better luck finding such a bargain low price on a toyota with an infected d4d engine

and i hope that the recent set-backs and recall problems currently haunting toyota won't crush their so-called invincible armor of reliability or is it already?

Toyota's been having problems for over five years, already, and nobody gives a f***. Even the vaunted Corolla has had its share of missteps, including a sludging problem on US engines due to the long service interval (sludging=overhaul=$$$$) despite the fact that the engines were designed for long intervals already (like many modern Hondas... local Fit/Jazzes already follow the 10k interval). Of course, some things are certain... locally, with our unholy short service intervals (which make a lot of money for the casas... sneaky sneaky), the Corolla is still a rock-solid car, despite being as old as Solomon.

But the same can't be said of some of Toyota's other cars... D4D scare or not. Locally, people don't really care... Toyota could sell Norkis Legacies (they already sell Daihatsus... i.e.: the Avanza) and people would snap them up like crazy.

RE: resale values... that's an interesting question... I'll start looking at the papers.

Bry, the car is just more worthy than the bucks we spent . i have'nt heard any unsatisfied owners so far and i dont know is if there's anyone. more on if they are willing to sell their month-old SF with its superior performance.
unlike the fortuner, i know somebody who traded his fort for a sorento just 2 mos after purchasing it, cant take the ride....ala pang SF non, and he's not the last. even my churchmate is thinking of trading his unit after testdriving my SF.
basta pag ala na pede paguspan....resale value n naman.

Hi Guys!

Bought an issue of Top Gear and there is a review of the Santa Fe. The review is good (18/20) and by reading it, I'm really convinced to get it instead of the RAV4!

I hope my wife will like the Santa Fe too. If she agrees, we'll make space in the garage soon!

Well, that's the only drawback sa Santa Fe.

I was wondering kasi sooner or later, someone, somewhere will have to sell his unit (Santa Fe) for one reason or another.

When that time comes, curious lang ako sa magiging resale value nya. Example lang ha, the Hyundai Coupe is for sale at 1.3M to 1.4M, brand new. I saw a couple of 2004 Coupes for sale at some used car lots for only 700+K. Bargain talaga. Kaya ako aabangan ko yung mga slightly used na Santa Fe.

**oldblue** · January 15th, 2007 01:38 PM

kung nabangga yun santa fe or may matinding damage na ayaw ipaalam yun owner, puwede naman talaga ibenta ng mababa. kahit half-the price pa.

the fact is up to now, wala pa nagbebenta ng used Santa Fe. that alones suggest na satisfied ang owners. unlike the Fort, may mga nagbebenta na.
and mostly d4d's.

now regarding the gas version ng fort, I highly doubt na mataas resale value nyan. yun pajero nga na d-gas bagsak din eh. same with the tiburon na obviously gas-guzzler.

RE: Hyundai Tiburon: The only Tiburon available locally in 04 was the 2.0, not the V6, and those cost 1m back then (ngayon lang nagtaas masyado), so 600k isn't terrible.

Plus, as said, it's a gasoline car, which brings the price down, and furthermore, it's technically a midsize car (like the Accord, Camry, Cefiro), which brings the price down further.

I'd expect the Santa Fe to hold on to its value as well as or better than the Starex.

No doubt. No one in his right mind would sell his Santa Fe this early. UNLESS dahil sa financial problems. This is what I'm wondering about. WHAT IF someone desperately needs money NOW and FAST, magkano kaya ang bentahan then?
